Hahahaha, thanx for the heads up...I figured it would bubble out, so the foil was a lousy attempt to keep it from getting messy...I do have TWO cookie sheets on a rack directly below the foil. But even at that the mix is bubbling out and burning to the foil and pan making my smoke alarm go off....but even the smoke smells good!!! Hahahahaha

I think I will be glad to have a self cleaning oven when all my holiday cooking is done...LOL

The pie plates I use are the "deep dish" style, so they are about 3/4" deeper than standard...and that was all the apples I had. Too many for one pie, but barely enough for two... :(

Plus, a confession....I cheated!! I bought the pre-made Pilsbury pie dough...and they barely covered what I had....

Too bad about the crust. That's the most important part of this pie, but they'll still be good. The crust is what takes it from a B+ to an A+. :)

The fact that he made them for his family brings them back up to A+ in my book... :D

Well GT, if you pick Sam up on the way, he has an ice cream maker!!! And I hear he has a killer ice cream recipe....LOL Oh, and grab Rky too! That could make for a pleasant ride over to the EAST coast. :shock: ..and maybe after some pie we could have a chop & trim party, if timed right... :D

I made one pie for after dinner with my Mom & son, and the other for friends that may drop by in the next days, so I will have plenty!! So come on!!

Family & Friends....that's what it's all about!!

Merry Christmas Friends!

Hey Sam!! Hope you are on the mend...

The pies were well received! I took one to my Mom's for Christmas dinner, and left the rest of that pie for her & her friend. The other pie we shared with firends that stopped by during the holidays...and ALL loved it!

Great recipe!

As you know Sam, I am anxiously awaiting some more material so I can try out some of the new things you have come up with!! LOL

Happy
